In line with the Nixpkgs manual.
A mechanical change, done with this command:
find pkgs -name "*.nix" | \
while read f; do \
sed -e 's/description\s*=\s*"\([a-z]\)/description = "\u\1/' -i "$f"; \
done
I manually skipped some:
* Descriptions starting with an abbreviation, a user name or package name
* Frequently generated expressions (haskell-packages.nix)
The location of this 'regen' script (whatever is does) depends on the
platform. AFAICT it always exists due to this:
$(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR):
mkdir $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)
cp $(srcdir)/Lib/plat-generic/regen $(srcdir)/Lib/$(PLATDIR)/regen
Currently, when constructing a buildEnv and adding packages via
extraLibs, then binaries in extraLibs cannot access the other Python
modules. An example is having ipython/jupyter in extraLibs; in that case
ipython cannot import any other modules.
The most complex problems were from dealing with switches reverted in
the meantime (gcc5, gmp6, ncurses6).
It's likely that darwin is (still) broken nontrivially.
Without this, python will silently build without native extensions (e.g
openssl); this causes wget to fail its tests for instance.
vcunat added python-3.5.
Fixes regression from 086e801d51.
The switch tu UCS-4 only happened for the main Python interpreter and
libraries, but the extension modules were using the same source but
without any configureFlags, so the extensions still referred to UCS-2
symbols.
Tested module builds of Python 2.7 and all modules except crypto fail.
Also tested against sqlite3 module of Python 2.6, although for other
modules there still seems to be an unrelated build failure with Tcl/Tk
libraries, so we might need to fix that later.

A build output of such a failure can be found here:
http://hydra.nixos.org/build/21994789/nixlog/1/raw
The build_ext command doesn't return non-zero if it fails but instead
produces a file with a "_failed.so" suffix, which we're now checking
after the build_ext command.

There was a typo that failed them.
Also, drop pkgconfig again, as it seems unused; and fix python26.
Now all python*.modules build, except for python26.tkinter
which fails on master as well.
